On hope and doubt.

Well, since these strange almost-forgotten bedfellows have made themselves recently relevant, what can I say about them?

...

On hope and doubt, I have this to say:

No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself.


Anticlimactic, I know, but I don't have a flare for drama and, besides, anticlimactic does not make it less true.


So, let's tie them together, this bundles of nerves and sleeplessness and disorientation and grasping touch; let's see what we have made of this handholding of hope and doubt and uncertainty and certainty and love:

If you understand, things are just as they are... If you do not understand? Things are just as they are.

Good morning, my dears.

I tried to remind you of this when I reminded you of that July. But, you had to find it for yourself again.

That was an interesting comparison, when you made it. The similarities are striking and I suppose we'll see her again, there, not seeing herself see herself, in another few years?
